Matiyu 2
1 kubẹ na iwa maru Yisa ku in Baitalami un Yahudiya nayiri tigoh in Hiridus, amon anitt anan yiru yenju niyini kusari kitene nin Urushalima da ida woro,
After the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the reign of King Herod, some Astrologers from the East arrived in Jerusalem, asking:
2 Adin weri ulenge na ina marughe ugoh na Yahudawe? Tina yene fiyini mere kusari kitene unnare ti da tida zazinghe.”
“Where is the new-born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to do homage to him.”
3 Na ugoh Hiridus in lanza nani, ayi me nin na nitin Urushalima fita vat.
When King Herod heard of this, he was much troubled, and so, too, was all Jerusalem.
4 Hiridus pitirino a didya na Priest nin na nan ninyerte nanit vat kiti kirum, anin tirino nani, “Nweri ima Kristi ku?”
He called together all the Chief Priests and Teachers of the Law in the nation, and questioned them as to where the Christ was to be born.
5 I woro ghe nenge, “In Baitalamin Yahudiya, bara imon ile na nyan lirun nuu Kutullẹ na nyertin nari ine,
“At Bethlehem in Judea,” was their answer; “for it is said in the Prophet —
6 'A fe, ubaitalami, in myin Yahudiya, na fere ubene nan nya na nan bun Yahudiya, nani nan nya fere unan tigo ba nuzukuulenge na ama su libya nanit nig Israila.'”
‘And thou, Bethlehem in Judah’s land, art in no way least among the chief cities of Judah; for out of thee will come a Chieftain — one who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
7 Hiridus tunna ayicila anan yiru vat likire a tirino nani in dert kubi kongo na fiyine na nuzu.
Then Herod secretly sent for the Astrologers, and ascertained from them the date of the appearance of the star;
8 A to nani udu ubaitalahmi, a woro, “Can idi piziru ubeleng gono seng. Asa i se ghe, dan ida belli, bara meng wang nan do in di zazinghe.”
and, sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and, as soon as you have found him, bring me word, that I, too, may go and do homage to him.”
9 Na i lanza ugowe ku, i kiffo libau i nya, fiyine na ini yene kusari kitene tunna ncin nbun mine fidi duru fiyisina kiti kirum dert kiti kanga na gọnọ diku.
The Astrologers heard what the King had to say, and then continued their journey. And the star which they had seen in the east led them on, until it reached, and stood over, the place where the child was.
10 Na iyene fiyinie, isu ayi abo nin liburi libo kang.
At the sight of the star they were filled with joy.
11 Itunna ipira nan nya kilare iyene gone nin nene Maryamue. Itumuno izazin ghe. Itunna i puzuno tika mine i nakpaghe imon ile na i ming mun, izinariya, lubban a kwul.
Entering the house, they saw the child with his mother, Mary, and fell at his feet and did homage to him. Then they unpacked their treasures, and offered to the child presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Na ise uwannu nataf kiti Kutellẹ nan nya namorona iwa kpilin kitin Hiridus ba, ifita i yira nlong libau ugang ukpillu kipin mine.
But afterwards, having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another road.
13 Na inung nna nya, Gono kadura Kutellẹ tun na a da kitin Yusufu nan nya namoro, a woroghe, “Fita uyiru gono, kinesse nin nene urum udu uMasar, udi so kikane se kubi kongo na mbellin fi uliru bara na Hiridus ma pizuru gone a molu kining.”
After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said: “Awake, take the child and his mother, and seek refuge in Egypt; and stay there until I bid you return, for Herod is about to search for the child, to put him to death.”
14 A tunna nin kitik ka ne afita a yauna ggono kinesse nin nene inya mun ucindu umasar.
Joseph awoke, and taking the child and his mother by night, went into Egypt,
15 Awa di so kikane udi duru kubin nkul in Hiridus, ulire nan kulo na cikilare wa bellin kitin nnan liru nin nuu Kutellẹ, “Unuzun nan nyan Masar nna yicila usaun ning ku.”
and there he stayed until Herod’s death; in fulfilment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says — ‘Out of Egypt I called my Son.’
16 Na Hiridus iyene anitt ayinjing ane nrusuzo ghe, ayi nana ghe kang, ato idi molusu nnono ni lirine vat na niwadi in Baitalahmi, udu ligan nminne vat, ucizunu na kus aba utolu kadas nalenge na idurun ba, nafo kubatino kube na awa lanza Ubeleng nan nyan tinu na nit ajinjin ghe.
When Herod found that he had been trifled with by the Astrologers, he was very angry. He sent and put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and the whole of that neighbourhood, who were two years old or under, guided by the date which he had ascertained from the Astrologers.
17 Ulirue u ni wa kulo vilengwe na iwa bellin kitin Irimiya unan liru nin nuuKutellẹ.
Then were fulfilled these words spoken in the Prophet Jeremiah, where he says —
18 “I wa lanza liwani nan nyan rama, kuculu nin tiyom a liburi lisirne, Rahilla di kuculu nnono me.”
‘A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and much lamentation; Rachel, weeping for her children, refused all comfort because they were not.’
19 Na Hiridus nku gono kadura Kutellẹ da kitin Yusufu nan nya namoro in masar.
But, on the death of Herod, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said:
20 “Aworo, Fita, yauna gono kinesse nin nene, udo nan nyan nmin Israila.”
“Awake, take the child and his mother, and go into the Land of Israel, for those who sought to take the child’s life are dead.”
21 Yusufue fita, a yauna gone nin nene, ada nan nya nmin Israila.
And he awoke, and taking the child and his mother, went into the Land of Israel.
22 Na alanza Arkila usari di tigon yahudiya kudarun ncife, Hiridus, fiu kiffo ghe na ado ba, vat nin woru Kutellẹ nwununghe kutuf nan nya namoro, ana lassina udu nmin ngalili.
But, hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as King of Judea, he was afraid to go back there; and having been warned in a dream, he went into the part of the country called Galilee.
23 Amini ana wa dak ada da so nkan kipin na idin yiccu kinin unazarati, inan kulo uliru na iwa bellin tinu na nan nliru nnu Kutellẹ ima yiccu ghe kunan Nazarat.
And there he settled in the town of Nazareth, in fulfilment of these words in the Prophets — ‘He will be called a Nazarene.’
